Parenting our Bee after infertility

Does a body good

I forgot to mention that I was being dildocammed today to get a baseline for IVF for TTC#2. Not the sort of thing that tends to come up in casual conversation, but we’re all friends here, right?

So it appears that I am now only borderline polycystic – 14 on the R, 17 on the L. When I first got checked two years ago I had 25/28 – so it appears the pregnancy has greatly normalised my hormone levels – she said anything under 12 would be completely normal.

So, that, in addition to The Baron’s tenfold leap in sperm production, offers an excellent prognosis for attempting to conceive naturally this time around. So why do I feel that that it’s all pointless and we should just get on with the treatment and be done with hope? Sometimes I get more pissed at IF for limiting my ability to be optimistic than I do for limiting our fertility.

hello from iclw (#120). so glad that your hormones have normalized a bit and that your dh has super swimmers! i can imagine feeling like why should i put myself through that ringer again and try on our own. only to have to get back to IVF eventually… i’d say, do what works for you. don’t second guess it. if you want to do IVF and can afford it, why not?
